The Lie Of Third-World Assimilation Is Finally Dead:

The Afghan ambush and the Somali fraud scandal reveal a truth elites don’t want to admit: the myth of assimilation has collapsed.

Recently, the Trump administration announced that it had not only paused processing all immigration applications from Afghanistan, but also halted immigration applications of people from 19 countries subject to travel restrictions earlier this year. Officials are also seeking to remove legal immigrants who were born in countries the White House deemed “high risk.”
This comes on the heels of the Washington, D.C., ambush in which an Afghan national attacked two West Virginia National Guard members, killing one and leaving the other in critical condition. The alleged shooter, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, came to the U.S. during the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021, one of thousands of unvetted Afghans brought over by the Biden administration as part of Operation Allies Welcome. Under Biden, more than 190,000 Afghans were flown into the United States — an unprecedented influx from a nation grappling with deeply unstable institutions and decades of violence.

Predictably, much of the corporate media was apoplectic at Trump’s announcements. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board insisted that Afghan immigrants, as a group, “shouldn’t be blamed for the violent act of one man,” insisting that “collective punishment of all Afghans in the U.S. won’t make America safer.”

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vehemently disagreed, calling the Journal’s claim “the great lie of mass migration.”
“You are not just importing individuals. You are importing societies,” Miller wrote. “At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands.”
Miller is correct. His point is not about the morality or worth of individual immigrants, but rather the larger structural reality of modern immigration.
Though individual applicants are processed separately, the flows themselves are group-based, such as refugees from specific conflict zones like Afghanistan or visa categories dominated by particular regions like India. Subsequent chain migration networks expand initial arrivals into larger, and separate, culturally cohesive clusters.
When groups of immigrants arrive in significant numbers, they put tremendous pressure on the economic, fiscal, political, and perhaps most importantly, cultural fabric of the United States, not only in the short term, but generationally.
In The Culture Transplant, George Mason economist Garett Jones points out that immigrants bring distinct values and behaviors from their places of origin, passing them down to their descendants, thereby perpetuating these cultural characteristics in their adopted homeland. This observation aligns with Miller’s point: mass immigration produces ethnic enclaves rather than isolated, assimilable individuals.
Consider Minnesota, and the Somali ethnic enclave known as “little Mogadishu.” A major story revealed that fraudsters have stolen billions of dollars in taxpayer funds during Tim Walz’s tenure as Minnesota governor, with ethnic Somalis allegedly playing an outsized role in the schemes.
To make matters worse, some of the stolen millions were funneled to Somalia and specifically to the terrorist network Al-Shabaab, according to reporting by Christopher Rufo and Ryan Thorpe. The U.S. National Counterterrorism Center notes that Al-Shabaab has “killed more US citizens than any other al-Qa’ida affiliate” since 2014 --->READ MORE HERE
